Well, I think I may have figured out what the problem is. It isn't anything to do with Epic or really even the NAS. It seems to be a Windoze network issue.
I can access the NAS as a mapped drive, however when I go to 'network places' (or what ever it is called in Win 7), and click on the folder under the NAS, it says the drive is not available.
Now I am not sure why I can see the drive when mapped, but not through its network path I do not know. Frustrating that is for sure, but I'll figure it out eventually. However if anyone has any words of wisdom, I'm open.
